Jose Martinez I love this place for its rustic feel. When you walk in, youre transported back to the 1960s. I really like the design and the lamps, and the best part is that theyve kept that style. As for the food, its delicious. The best thing is that they have fresh turkey every day. I highly recommend them. They also have excellent table service.

ray miller A terrific spot to enjoy tex next flavor. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The place was bright and clean inside and out. The menu was very clear on there selections. We had two tacos a traditional and a chicken/tequila lime. Delicious fresh toppings. Queso and chips were fresh and cheesy. All around a great place to stop when in the area.

Pavel Push With a quality/taste - price ratio - very good place. You don’t have to expect gourmet 3 Michelin star food, but very decent, honest and eatable food. With a sense of enjoyment. Two large room with a front counter and 7 tables with food on the back. Mostly all tables - red coaches but there is few tables. The service is ok. But the service is not the most import things on buffets, right? But offering and quality. Worth every penny.

Matthew Nikkel Everything I had was excellent It was a nice quiet evening that I had with my kids. It is expensive, appetizer, dinner, drinks, dessert, tip for 3 people was just over $200 The cod was cooked to perfection (I still don’t like cod but I tried my son’s) The fillet over risotto was an incredible flavorful dish and the meat was so tender and a perfect medium rare. My daughter had a chicken Alfredo type dish and was tasty as well. Chicken was nice and juicy. I would definitely recommend reservations as it does get busy… Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for a nice place to eat!

Constance Hudson Love the pizza!! Always delicious. The wait time was a bit too much. My pizza wasn’t ready until 30 minutes after my online order said it would be ready. I’ll be back, I’ll just call ahead to see what the wait time is.

Rebecca S In town for a quick weekend visit and we were looking out a spot for a burger. We stopped by one spot, which said they were open late and when we walked through the door we were told they were about to close the kitchen. While we were irritated, it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. We found Chef Mikes and had a phenomenal meal. Huge portions, fantastic flavor, thick juicy burgers and delicious shakes. The people were great and their pup Lola was a sweet girl. If you are looking to be impressed, stop by!

Emma W. This is my favorite place to go. The sliced beef pho is favorite meals that never disappoints and there portion sizes are big enough that I usually end up taking some home. Service is always amazing. And

Ben Groen Ordered the Asada Fries and two tacos. Everything excellent. Fast service. Finished with flan and tres leches. Outstanding. Wish I had taken a picture before we finished the main course. Glad the mall has this option!

Gebos Garage If you like dark and cozy, this is the place. I absolutely LOVE the ambiance here. First-time patrons, and we will be back. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. NOTE: This turns from a restaurant to a full-fledged bar with a DJ around 9pm. They remove the tables as the place fills up with bar goers. But dont let that fool you. Come early for an awesome dinner and a dark yet welcoming, very cozy environment. Could be perfect for DATE NIGHT dinner and then drinks. Try the Fish Fry, Calamari, but skip the Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken. Overall, we LOVE this place.

B. Bédard Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this small town diner. Super friendly staff, happy customers, and satisfying food.

Chayne Wilson It’s so delicious here. We got there at 11:15 and it’s busy already. Just because they have a lot of online orders but you still don’t have to wait that long anyway. The server was so nice and polite.

Jamie Neshkoff Had Lunch Dine In. Heidelberg bread with egg and cheese and my son had the same but also with bacon. Hot chocolate was not on the menu but they whipped up a delicious steamy hot chocolate with loads of whipped cream… great for a cold Fall day! My son had HINT raspberry which is a flavored water that is perfectly balanced in flavor

Gian Carlo Crespo Calle Love this place!!, food is always amazing!!, looking forward to come back ASAP!, my personal recommendation try the Sophia Loren Sandwich (trust me, you won’t regret it!).

A.K. A First time visiting Cracker Barrel: May 22, 2025. On our visit to Watertown, I was craving fried chicken, and voilà! We found Cracker Barrel. It did not disappoint; it was tasty, and we will surely go back. Thanks for the good service and nice ambiance.
